Installation questions - any tips for these parts?

I'm getting ready to install the following. I've worked on other cars and have most the common tools I will need. I am just wondering if anyone has any specific comments on installing any of the following parts? I am assuming they are all pretty much bolt-on and come with everything needed.

Past experience with my Type-R had me running to Copper State Nut and Bolt a lot in a friends car, so I figured I would ask ahead of time.

Thanks!

Take your time on the downpipe, it'll take a while. With the proper tools (14mm swivel head wrench) you'll be good to go. Make sure you've got those t-bolt clamps torqued down properly. The intake is also a kind of pain since the turbo is at the back of the car, so don't strain your back.

Also when you goto remove the downpipe soak the bolts overnight with PB Blaster, makes it easier to get them off.

Exactly the tips I was looking for guys, thanks! I will go grab a swivel wrench (don't think I have one).

Are all the torque settings in the Mechanics Manual and easy to find?
